5.Use the controls to modify the configuration, as described in the following table.

Control

Description

 

 

Comment

Optionally, specify a comment to help you identify the share.

 

 

Mode

Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:

 

Broadcast. The share originates on the origin server and a read-only copy is available

 

as a share on the branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The data is updated

 

periodically on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator with the data from the origin server.

 

You specify when and how frequently updates (that is, synchronization) are to occur

 

when you configure a share.

 

IMPORTANT: For Broadcast mode: if you are performing directory moves regularly

 

(for example, mv ./dir1/dir2 ./dir3/dir2), incremental synchronization will not reflect

 

these directory changes. You must perform a full synchronization more frequently to

 

keep the PFS shares in synchronization with the remote site.

 

IMPORTANT: While performing a incremental synchronization for Broadcast mode

 

share, if files are deleted on the server, they are not deleted on the HP EFS WAN

 

Accelerator.

 

Local. After the HP EFS WAN Accelerator receives the initial copy, new data

 

generated by clients is periodically synchronized to the origin server. The folder on the

 

origin server essentially becomes a back-up folder of the share on the HP EFS WAN

 

Accelerator. Users must not directly write to this folder on the origin server. You

 

specify when and how frequently updates (that is, synchronization) are to occur when

 

you configure a share.

 

CAUTION: In Local Mode, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator copy of the data is the

 

master copy; do not make changes to the shared files from the origin server while in

 

Local mode. Changes are propagated from the remote office hosting the share to the

 

origin server.

 

NOTE: PFS does not support non-domain accounts other than Administrator accounts.

 

If you create Local mode shares on a non-administrator account, your security

 

permissions for the share will not be preserved on the origin server.

 

Stand-Alone. Provides the branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerator with a one time

 

working copy of data mapped from the origin server. You can specify a remote path to

 

a directory on the origin server, creating a copy at the branch-office. This data is not

 

synchronized back to the origin server. The stand-alone share is an initial and one-time

 

only synchronization.

 

 

Version 2

Port. Specify the port for the server.

 

 

Version 3

Account. Specify the fully qualified Windows login (including domain) to be used to

 

access the shares folder on the origin file server. For example,

 

<Domain>\Administrator.

 

IMPORTANT: Make sure the users are members of the Administrators group on the

 

remote share server, either locally on the file server (the local Administrators group) or

 

globally in the domain (the Domain Administrator group).

 

 

 

Password/Password Confirm. Specify and confirm the password to be used to access

 

the shares folder on the origin file server.

 

 

Incremental Sync Schedule, Date

Specify the date and time that you want updates (synchronization) to start. The first

and Time

synchronization, or the initial copy, retrieves data from origin file server and copies it to

 

the local disk on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. Subsequent synchronizations are based

 

on the synchronization interval.

 

IMPORTANT: For Local mode, changes are synchronized from the HP EFS WAN

 

Accelerator to the origin file server; Broadcast mode changes are synchronized from

 

the origin file server to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
